Hello,

when working with linked custom transformers I often have to temporarily embed the transformer to properly debug a workspace. However, there is no good way to revert to the originally linked transformer. Once the transformer has been embedded I either have to remove all versions of the transformer to insert a linked transformer again (which means I have to repopulate all parameter values and properly connect the transformer) or I can overwrite the existing custom transformer which replaces the transformer via the "Export as Custom Transformer" option.

I think an option to transform an embedded transformer to a linked one would be nice.


Does anyone have another good way to develop/debug custom transformers that are integrated in multiple workspaces?

I often do something similar, but instead of merely reverting to the linked version, I need to re-export the embedded updated custom transformer. However, if I do that, any historical versions are destroyed on export. I'll create another idea to cover this.
